BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Former tennis player Ilie Nastase was arrested twice in the space of six hours in his native Romania on Friday, first on suspicion of driving a car while drunk and refusing to take a breathalyzer test, and then for going through a red light on a scooter.

Police initially stopped the 71-year-old Nastase around 4.45 a.m. while he was driving. They said he was visibly drunk. Gilceava said officers had to block Nastase’s vehicle as he failed to stop.

The former U.S. and French Open champion refused to take a breathalyzer and officers removed him from the vehicle and handcuffed him.

He was later released as police opened a criminal investigation against him for drunken driving and failing to take a breathalyzer test.

Police stopped him again about six hours later after he allegedly went through a red light on a scooter. His driving license had been suspended after the first incident.

Nastase admitted that he had drunk beer but claimed police had manhandled him and thrown him to the ground during his first arrest.

The second time he was apprehended, he was filmed mocking police officers and accusing them of acting like the communist-era militia. Nastase got in a police car and placed a police helmet on his head during that second arrest.

Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel is currently under investigation by the Charleston Police after he was accused of rape by his children’s former nanny, and he has also been accused of paying off another sexual assault victim $200k after a Tinder date. Lastly, a third woman who dated him says that Ravenel and his current girlfriend have been cyber stalking her, and legal action is in the works.

But Thomas Ravenel continues business as usual and doesn’t seem concerned. The former South Carolina Treasurer has lived in Charleston most of his life and has largely gone unscathed except for the matter of the federal government charges against him in 2007 for purchasing cocaine and sharing it with friends, says CBS. For this, Ravenel spent 10 months in federal prison and then spent the next several years on probation.

Ravenel complained that he was treated unfairly by the feds and that he got the same punishment as his drug dealer. With his political career behind him, he started on the Bravo show Southern Charmwhere he casually joked about his cocaine charges, saying that he was not a drug user, he just “liked the way it smelled.”

But now that the Charleston Police acknowledge that Ravenel is under investigation, he doesn’t seem too concerned, as not even Bravo has officially pulled the plug on his employment, despite the fact that the woman accusing him of rape was on Southern Charm for the first two seasons.

Perhaps it’s because Ravenel has always enjoyed a friendly relationship with the Charleston Police, and he trusts them to be fair to him. Back in 2010, there was an ATV accident at Thomas’ Edisto Island home, Brookland Plantation says the Post and Courier. Ravenel called it a “freak accident” when a friend lost his leg when an ATV rolled, pinning Kenneth M. “Marty” Boissoneault’s leg underneath. Ravenel was driving the four-wheeled Kawasaki Mule when it unexpectedly flipped, and neither man was wearing a seatbelt. Ravenel fell on his friend and was unhurt, but Boissoneault was airlifted and taken to the hospital where his leg was amputated.

Ravenel explained that the tires of the ATV must have gotten snared in the grass and that they were only doing approximately 10 miles per hour. Maj. John Clark of the Charleston County Sheriff’s office made a statement for the Post and Courier saying that no drugs or alcohol were involved in the matter, but legal action by Boissoneault claimed that both men were intoxicated at the time of the tragic accident.

But South Carolina Lawyers Weekly tells a different story, as the plaintiff, Kenneth Boissoneault (now deceased) successfully settled with Thomas Ravenel for $2.2 million. Charleston lawyer David Yarborough made what is called a Tyger River demand on Ravenel’s insurance company, Fireman’s Fund Insurance, and rather than go to court on the matter, the parties settled for $2.2 million. Yarborough thought that Ravenel and the insurance company would prefer to settle for the amount listed than risk a much larger amount in court.

Kenneth Boissoneault had already suffered economic losses at the time of the settlement, and the loss of his lower right leg (right tibia-fibula open fractures resulting in a below-the-knee amputation) was going to limit his future earnings, says Yarborough.

“He had a 30 percent whole-person impairment rating and he was going to have to wear a prosthetic device for the rest of his life. In a case of clear liability, which we believed this was, with potential for punitive exposure, the damages clearly could have exceeded the available policy limits.”

But the matter in the case that stood out in the negligence matter according to Yarborough was negligence on the part of Boissoneault and Ravenel, as both men had been drinking at the time of the accident, despite what the Charleston County officials had said.

“There was one problem for the plaintiff: Evidence that he and the defendant had been drinking alcohol on the day of the rollover.”

The plaintiff said that Ravenel had made the turn too suddenly which led to the rollover, but Yarborough said that an impaired driver was the reason for the rollover, even if the plaintiff had also been drinking.

“It cut both ways because the driver, obviously, should not have been operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol. We believed that a jury would or could potentially bring back an actual damages verdict that exceeded the available policy limits as well as a punitive damages verdict that would have put the defendant’s assets at great risk.”

Ravenel agreed to pay the plaintiff’s estate but did not ultimately face any charges from Charleston County Police for operating an ATV while drinking, and all matters were settled out of court.

MONROE, Wis. – A woman is facing a repeat impaired driving charge after she was unconscious Thursday morning in the Green County Justice Center parking lot with a child in the vehicle, officials said.

The Green County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to the justice center in Monroe for a report of a woman who was passed out at 10:15 a.m.

Tangy M. Grant, 30, of New Glarus, was arrested on suspicion of third-offense operating while under the influence of drugs with a passenger under the age of 16 and possession of a Schedule II narcotic, according to the report. Grant was taken to jail on the charges along with a probation hold through the Wisconsin Department of Corrections.

The driver of a semitrailer that crashed into a school bus Wednesday on Interstate 39/90/94 near DeForest injuring 20 people faces tentative charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and causing injury by vehicle, a Columbia County official said.

On Thursday, the State Patrol identified the semitrailer driver as 42-year-old Wayne Edward Murphy, of Indianapolis. He was taken to Columbia County Jail, an official said, and has no known prior OWI convictions.

One child remained in critical condition Thursday with injuries that were not considered life-threatening at UW Health’s American Family Children’s Hospital, UW Health spokeswoman Lisa Brunette said. Another child was listed in good condition at the Children’s Hospital, Brunette said.

Eleven other patients from Wednesday’s crash were treated at UW Health facilities.

The bus, operated by Lakeside Buses of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, was carrying about 30 people from Hope Christian School in Milwaukee when the driver pulled over on the shoulder near mile marker 122 in Columbia County due to mechanical problems.

The bus was rear-ended by the semitrailer, a 2016 Freightliner Power Unit, around 10:15 a.m. on the northbound side of the Interstate.

Ted Dahl, the owner of Dahl Trucking, which employed Murphy, said he has worked for the company for “quite some time” and that he would be off the road until the investigation is completed.

“At this point in time, all of our thoughts and prayers go to those kids and their parents and families,” Dahl said.

Several calls to Hope Christian Schools, which has multiple campuses throughout Milwaukee, were not returned Thursday.

In a Facebook post Wednesday, the school said the students were from the Semper campus and were on a year-end field trip.

The driver of the bus was 51-year-old Yvonne Gayton, of Milwaukee, according to the State Patrol, which initially erroneously named a 67-year-old Madison retiree on Thursday as the driver of the school bus.

Officials from Lakeside Buses said they are working closely with the State Patrol as the investigation into the crash continues.

“We look forward to their speedy recovery and return to HOPE Christian School: Semper for the end of the school year,” Lakeside Buses said in a statement.

Two siblings with long rap sheets could see them get a little lengthier after the latest run-in with local law enforcement, a vehicle pursuit in the early morning hours Monday that resulted in their arrests.

Jonathan Boykin was charged back in 2015 by Sampson County Sheriff’s authorities with driving while impaired (DWI) and other traffic offenses, a case that went to trial this past March. The state also sought a conviction on habitual DWI, which could bring a sentence of 10 years. Jonathan was out on bail during the trial and attended the first few days of his trial, but failed to show up for the remaining trial days, Sheriff’s Lt. Marcus Smith stated Tuesday.

The trial continued without Jonathan and he was found guilty by the jurors. Warrants were issued by the state for his arrest and sentencing, however sheriff’s authorities and other law enforcement agencies were unable to locate Jonathan in the months that followed.

That is, until Monday.

Upon seeing the Boykin brothers in the Tahoe, deputies activated their emergency equipment, but Joshua Boykin failed to yield for the deputies.

“A vehicle pursuit ensued and deputies were able to deploy stop sticks on the suspect vehicle, which deflated two of the vehicles tires,” Smith stated. “Despite having two flat tires, Joshua continued to flee in the vehicle from deputies.”

However, deputies deployed a PIT (Pursuit Intervention Technique) maneuver, which stopped the Tahoe. The Boykin brothers fled on foot and after a short chase, both were apprehended by officers.

“During the arrest of Jonathan, he failed to comply with officers commands, fought with deputies and assaulted the officer,” Smith noted.

During the confrontation, he received a minor laceration to the head and was transported to Sampson Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Department, where he was treated and released. One deputy also received a minor injury to the hand as a result.

It was discovered through the course of the investigation that the vehicle driven by Joshua Boykin was also stolen, reportedly taken from a family member on Lakewood School Road, Salemburg.

Jonathan Boykin, listed of the same Claudes Drag Road address, was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer inflicting injury and resisting public officer. He was also served the orders for his arrest on charges of habitual impaired driving, misdemeanor flee to elude arrest with a motor vehicle, simple possession of marijuana, driving while license revoked, no operator’s license and non-support of child.

Joshua and Jonathan were placed under secured bonds of $25,000 and $13,500, respectively.

”Both of the individuals have a long history with law enforcement,” Smith stated.

According to the N.C. Department of Public Safety, Joshua Boykin served seven years in prison following a 2006 robbery in Sampson, for which he was convicted in 2008. He was released in 2015. He was convicted of robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, possession of firearm by felon, larceny of a motor vehicle and possession of stolen goods.

Prior to that, he was convicted of assault on officer, driving while impaired and felony drug possession, all convictions coming in Sampson, NCDPS records note.

Jonathan Boykin has a slew of convictions dating back to 2001 in Sampson, Cumberland, Johnston and Bladen counties, court records show. He has convicted numerous times on charges of speeding to elude arrest, assault on officer and driving while impaired (including habitual impaired driving, his most recent conviction in Bladen in 2011).

He has also been convicted multiple times for reckless driving and related motor vehicle charges, simple assault and malicious conduct by prisoner.
